An introduction to SAToGo

14 October 2009 - 11:16pm | by darragh

I wouldn't consider my self an expert when it comes to System access or indeed SAToGo but I was very impressed when yesterday, I came up against a problem with my primary screen reader and after remembering that SAToGo.com was available, I was able to not only get my primary screen reader back up and running, but I was comfortable enough and satisfied to spend the rest of the evening using SAToGo. Not to take away from the inovation that it is responsible for but I think what I was most impressed with was that although it was diferent, it was not too different as to impose too much of a learning curve.

SeroTek are the great people behind System Access and SAToGo. Go visit them and give SAToGo a try for your self. I promis you won't be sorry.
